[Yohei @yoheinakajima]

Woo hoo! The future is AI + human collaboration.

PayMan’s marketplace and payment rails for AI to hire humans is an important part of this future ecosystem.

If you’re building AI agents, make sure “hiring a human” is one of their skills 🛠️

My @TEDTalks is live!

Join me in this exploration of "identity" as I touch on our complex nature, the collective conscious, limitations of language, with a strong nudge to see the opportunity today to build a better future with AI.

@yoheinakajima @babyAGI_ @wearevaqat Woo hoo!

[Yohei @yoheinakajima]

Any college students interested in autonomous agents? I want to put together a market map of startups/projects in the space!

Couldn't get @babyagi_ to do this, so I posted a paid gig on @wearevaqat to give a college student a chance to show us what they got!

The response to @BabyAGI_ has been beyond my imagination…

So I'm bringing in help!

To start, we have @fraser joining us to help lead, with support @sparkcapital, @replit, @trychroma, and more partners to be announced soon!

A bit more on the vision 👇

[Yohei @yoheinakajima]

Let it be free!

Open-sourcing “Baby AGI”, a paired down version of the “Task-Driven Autonomous Agent” at 105 lines of code.

Three task agents (execution, creation, prioritization) work in harmony… forever.
